Not only are you a racist but you need to check your privilege. These people have come a much longer way to stand further than you "Bro". You disgust me because you feel the only way an ethnic person can be as good is with help. Look outside your shitty little enclave to see the world, and how tiny a fucknugget in it you actually are.
Ah yes, David Chisnall. Another Cambridge wannabe without a hope of tenure track who thinks he is cleverer than he really is and makes a bunch of trite points over and over hoping to get some attention -- not realising they've been made for over 20 years. Have an original thought David, and stop feeling smug. You're not.
I would be very interested to know what network applications show high overhead. Do you have any apps/number you could share? Does high overhead mean they are generally slower or that they consume more CPU or both? (I ask this as a researcher in computer science looking at container overheads)
Funny how your anecdotal point is just that, anecdotal. Here's another anecdotal point for you -- Pancreatic cancer (stage 2). Diagnosed on the first visit even though a private doctor had missed it previously. Surgery in less than 5 days, excellent follow-up and post-surgery care including the surgeon having a set of non-mandatory procedures approved in record time (10mins) as a preventative step towards recurrence. Two years later, cancer free with excellent reminders and follow-ups on periodic checkups.
Your experience does not dictate the system, as doesn't mine.
